Kayaking on Lake Aoki can be relaxing and fun or challenging depending on whether you wish to just cruise the lake or work on your advanced techniques with one of our guides.

Canyoning

Kamoshika Canyon Tour

Let Evergreen take you deep in the pristine Kamooshika Canyon for an exhilarating adventure. Even in the swelter of Japan's mid-summer heat, Kamoshika Canyon is an amazingly cool and shaded place to enjoy one of Japan's canyons. This Hakuba canyon is the result of millennia of natural forces: plate tectonics, volcanic activity, glaciation and water running down from the high plateaus of Japan's Northern Alps. This swift-flowing water has carved out soft volcanic basalt rock to create steep slick rock waterfalls and deep pools.

From using ropes to descend 15 meter waterfalls, sliding down multiple smaller waterfalls, swimming in deep fresh pools, jumping from the canyon walls to zooming down our 70 meter Flying Fox - you are sure to be thrilled. So come and see why everyone is raving about canyoning.

Swimming

15 minutes from Hakuba lies beautiful Lake Aoki, fed by pure snow melt and bubbling spring water, in the summertime there is no better place to go swimming and relax around the lake. This is also where Evergreen Outdoors lake activities take place, so combine your day with canoe or kayak experience.
